Assignment Details

Develop a list of the top 3 challenging issues related to case management that you might face as an administrator based on the lessons and readings in this course.
For each issue, you will assess the benefits and drawbacks of at least 2 options to remedy each challenge from 3 main stakeholder perspectives (e.g., patient, provider, or third-party payer). Be sure to include considerations from legal, social, and ethical perspectives.
Include details of each option’s impact on the costs, quality, and access to health services for the geriatric population served at the long-term care organization identified for this assignment.
